ptatt fntdlipccr. Gen, Albert Sidney Johnston. S? REV. SSW ARD POKTAINE I never beard Sidney Johnston make a public speech, Hi* modesty made him ?veawer to asy display of h?t?fe?tsj but be wa* highly gifted in his conversation; and whether his/companions were ladies ar. gentlemen*, her never failed to amuse *a?rS instruct them. He Spoke fluently hut deliberately, and always used the most correct and appropriate words to . express his ideas. In the course of many years, in camp, in garrison, in his own parlor, and' while travelling with bim through the wilds of Texas, I never heard bim .say a rode or silly thing, or utter an expression obnoxious to the most refinod Christian lady. Yefc b? conversation abounded with anecdotes, and was spiced ?With wit and humor. His knowledge of ancient aad modern history, and espe? cially tb?t of%?r country was thorough; and his acquaintance with every depart? ment of natural science was very exten? siver He was particularly fond of dis? cussing the merits of all the recent dis? coveries in geology, and the various branches of natural history. I recollect an incident which will give you some idea of - his humor. A clerical friend who was often his companion in his angling excursions in the Colorado bot? tom, brought upon himself a severe at? tack of intermittent fever by indulging too freely in the innocent amusement during the "dog-days." "Wading in the j cold water with an August sun burning upon his head at noon, and inhaling tho miasmatic vapor from the decaying moss and.- aquatic plants-left dead upon the sand bars of toe river, shrank within its narrowest-limits in the. dry season, had given him "the chills." The general, with some other friends, called to see him dur? ing his illness. One of them asked him how be made himself sick? He replied that he could not account for the attack, unless it had been caused by getting wet in Bastion's creek and the Colorado river. , General Johnston then said, "I will an? swer the question for ray friend. I know his habits well; and I have been with him frequently lately; and but for a very strong constitution, I would probably be now in his condition; but he is a clergy? man,"and as such he does not like to con? fess that he has made himself sick by fre? quenting too much 'low places." He was a regular attendant at church; but I never knew him to commune at tho sacrament of the Lord's supper. His wife was a very pious and useful member of tbe Episcopal church. I do not recollect % ever to have heard him express his. opin * f8n Tipbn the subject of religion except" once. I dined with bim Sunday after preaching a sermon upon "The doctrine of special Providence," to which he listened with profound attention. After dinner, while conversing with him and Mrs. John? ston, he remarked: "Your sermon to-day interested -me very much. I believe firm? ly the doctrine of a particular Providence Which", directs or controls the destiny of the worlds or atoms; and I will relate an ? incident in my own life, which, with many others of a similar character, has confirm? ed me in my belief; and which I think will serve to illustrate tho truth of your sermon. As the paymaster of this de? partment of our urmy, I have for the last foo^jyeara visited Fort Croghan, Port worfln, "and other garrisons in Texas, regularly once in three months to pay our troops. I have generally had the same escort of soldiers whom I can trust. I 'ha ve -had the same ambulance, the same mu.les and the same driver; and during eabn quarterly trip between Fort Croghan af^'Fort. Worth,! have invariably camp o^about one hour before sunset undor a certain post oak tree, noar a fine spring, aJijtbo end of my first day's journey from fwfc Croghan. ^f'S'hejnules were so accustomed to the spot that whenever I reached it, without waiting for the guidance of the driver or the command to halt, they went to the oak tree, and turned the wagon around in a position suitable for unloading and pitching the tent under it. I used the body of the tree as a support for the tent, one-end of which was fastened to it. In order to reach this camping place in proper time I was in the habit of starting punctually at .8 o'clock in the morning, and I do not remembor to have deviated five minutes from that hour in four years except on ono occasion. Tho ambulance ai^soort were all ready and waiting for ttj^rtfertb march. But I sat conversing withrtbe officers and ladies of the post oi.e hour, later than usual. I remember think? ing sevoral times that I had better be off. but I felt an aversion to starting for which I could give no good reason. At length I found that I had idled an entire hour, and gave the order to move. One hour later than usual, travelling four miles an hbur, I was at a distance ot four miles fromTthe camping placo when I met a fu? rious storm from the northwest. **??Thc"wind; rain and hail, accompanied* with tremendous thunder and incessant lightning, beat full in our faces, with such violence that I was compelled to halt in tne'prairiei turn the front of tho ambu? lance and the heads of tho mules from the storm, and remain where we were until it was over. It continued until late in tbe^night; and we remained upon the spot in a very uncomfortable situation until the next morning. As soon as it Was light, I ordered a move to our usual ramping place, where there was plenty of Wood and water, where I intended to breakfast. In an hour we reaohed it.? Sat the post oak was gone. A flash of lightning had shivered it in fragments, and torn many of the roots of it out of the ground; and from the effects of the terrible stroke I am confident that I should have been killed, and all with me would have perished, if I had reached it at the usual time, and if the tent had been gitchod -where it had been once in every v three months for four years. I felt trnly thankful for my escape. Jfow, sir, I can only account for it in this. way. I sup? pose unconsciously to myself, the Groat and all pervading Spirit influenced my own spirit and kept me employed or amused in conversation at Fort Crogan. It was necessary that the particular spot of earth where I should be usually eamp ed- should Jiave been' electrified: but it was not necessary that. I should then have been killed. Hence a Divine Provi? dence interrupted the regularity of my movements, and saved my life." .-* The Dead.?How multitudinous are the dead! How populous are the silent cities where they dwell! Close, but peace? ful they rest, under shafts and spires of marble, or perchance without even the rudest memorial to the activities they once bore, the pomps they once displayed. Two hundred times more than all the generation of tho living, encamped out there in church-yard, cemetery, and by the wayside. Myriad millions, obeisant to tthe awful shade, tbe grim spectre who rides the pale horse. Ceasless migration from the halls of life?the great, the proud, the rich, the poor, the bond, the free ; ' brothers and sisters all, with one God for their common father, one earth for their sepulchre, one turf to hide their dust. What history, what romance, what trage? dy, what secretsand mysteries are locked with them in tho grave. Arid how soon, too, shall we all march down thither, "where tho wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest;" down thither where the sleep is dreamless, until tho great day when the trumpet shall sound, bidding tho nations of tho dead to arise! Sacred, and green, and evermore fragrant with the breath of flow? ers, and musical with the sound of gentlest foot-falls, and the songs of birds, be the places of graves?the homes of the dead. They were all beloved in their day?all fathers, or mothers, or brothers, or siBters, or friends?or i? any were foes, their en? mity lives not in tbe tomb. Good or bad, as ran the record of their lives, be it ours to reverence their dust?God will judge them; God, who is the searcher of hearts, and who is wiser, and more merciful than man: Verily, it is not well for us to be thought? less of the dead. What they were, and what they have done and said, concern i us every hour. Their example guides, their precedent governs, their wisdom di? rects, their thoughts inspire, their labor blesses, and their riches enrich us. Beni zon to the dead, and may the good God so sbape our lives, that when the time comes, we may lie down, obscure it may be, but without foar?and without reproach. -? ? "Marriage is to woman at once the happiest and saddest ovent of her life??it is the promise of future bliss raised on the death of present enjoyment. She quits her home and her parents, her compan? ions, . her amusements?everything on which she has hitherto depended for com? fort, for affection, for kindness and for pleasure. The parents by whose advice she had been guided; tho sister to whom she has dared to impart the embryo thought and feeling ; the brother who has played with her, Dy turns the consellor, and the younger children, to whom she has hitherto been tho mother and play? mate?aro all forsaken at ono fell stroke ?every former tie is loosed?the spring of action is changed and she flies with joy in the untrodden paths beforeJier; bouy ed up by the confidence of requitted love, sho bids a fond and faithful adieu to the life that is past, and turns with excited hoped and joyous anticipation to the hap? piness to come. Then woe to tho man who can blight such fair hopes?who can treacherously luro such a heart from its peaceful enjoyment and watchful protec? tion of home?who can, coward like, break the illusions which have won her, and destroyed the confidence which love had inspirod." -? Two Ways op Doing a Thino.?In the train from Harrisburg was a gentleman Jack Tar in a go-ashore outfit, jolly, gen? teel and happy, with a decidedly pretty specimen of eigh toon-year old crinoline, to whom he had been a woek spliced, and was convoying Philadelphiaward. Oppo? site Jack and his wifo were a couple that any one could see were on a honeymoon cruise, the bride all blushes, beauty and bashfulness, and tho gallant bridegroom all devotion and endearment. At one of the way stations tho cars stopped, and the careful bridegroom thus addressed his timid bride : "My lovo, I am about step out a few moments, for refreshments. Do not be alarmed during my absence." Gentleman Jack took the cue; and pat? ting his wife on the shoulder, sung out, as if he were hauling the main topgallant yard in a gale of wind: "I say, wifey, I'm going ashore to wet ray whistle; don't tumble overboard while I'm gone." -.? The Man Without an Eneny.? Heaven help the man who imagines he can dodgo enemies, by trying to please everybody ! If such an individual even succoeded we should be glad it?not that we believe in a man's going through the world trying to find beams to knock his head against; disputing every man's opin? ion, fighting and elbowing and crowding all who differ with him. That, again, is another extreme. Other people have a right to theiF opinion, so have you; don't fall into the error of supposing they will respect you less for maintaining it, or re? spect you more for turning your coat every day to match the color of theirs.? Wear your own colors spite of winds and weather, storms or sunshine. It costs the vacillating and irresolute ten times the trouble to wind and shuffle and twist, than it does honest, manly independence Jo stand its ground. "Skin op the Teeth."?A few days ago we had occasion to mention tho nar? row escape of a young lady "by the skin of her teeth." We were afterwards taken to task about it by a literary friend who desired us to inform him from whence tbe expression is derived. We have since ob? tained tho necessary information and wo doubt not that many of our readers and our friend in particular, will '-be ' astonished to learn that the phrase,..escapfng "with the skin of my teeth," is from the Bible. It occurs in Job, chapter 19,-verse 20, and the correct reading is: "My bone cleaved to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth."?Mobile Advertiser. -!-? ? A young gentleman, o*f Coahoma county, Miss., endeavoring to shoot a dog the other day, missed the dog and shot himself through the log. The wound is not dangerous, and tho dog is perfectly satisfied. P&enticiana.?The Oregonians lately gave to one of their mountains the name of Mount Hood. It at once turned vol? cano, and has been spouting fire ever since. But its gallant namesake is quiet enough. Said a dying father to his son: "Bear it in mind, my son, through your life, as the long experience of mine, never to drink sweetened liquors or trust a cock? eyed man." The goddess Laverna is pained as a head without a body. She ought to be mounted on the shoulders of our Con? gress, a body without a head. Theie wouldn't be so much objection to some people's running for Congress if they would keop a sitting posture after they reach there. When a strapping loafer approaches you and appeals to you with the remark that ho has no money, tell him you have none but what you have earned. Let not those who feel that they have been whipped in the South go to Brazil, for Brazil is likely to be whipped too. Wo object to tilters. Let the girls walk out with their dandy-beaus if they must show their calves. I Thad. Stevens says that Jeff. Davis is not a traitor. Pity Jeff, can't say that of Thad. ' In Louisville, hogs are killed in great numbers; in Chicago, people. The radical papers have much to say about their party's will. If their party hasn't made its "will," we trust that the time for it to do so will soon come. I A girl in Topbam, Me., died from her blood's turning to sugar. We wonder that a groat many of our girls don't die in that way. I , A correspondent of tbe Hartford Times lately saw a planet on fire. No particu? lar heat was imparted to our atmosphere. All the radicals exclaim, "nay I" "nay 1" ["nay!" against Southern restoration.? Their "nay" is equal to that of a hundred horses. I Human beings are by nature fighting animals. The very babies are up in arms as soon as they come into the world. I A great many writers have written I upon a groat many subjects. But all of them have written upon the earth. Brigham Young says that the Gentiles in Utah aro "lousy." It would bo a won? der if they were not. i We trust, that, after a little time, radi? calism's eyes will turn up and its mouth down. A country editor tries to insult the President by calling him "the thing."? Yos, he is the very thing. If a man addresses you dogmatically, answer him categorically. Tobacco is much talked about. It is in almost everybody's mouth. Whisky is still-born. Whisky-drinkers ought to have been. Many more people have died of "rod tape" than of tape worms. Upper Canada has ten suspension bridges and one suspension bank. The news now goes over the ocean by going under it. -* ? It costs a good deal to be wiso, but it don't cost much to be happy. ? It is a general remark that all clas? ses of persons are ready to give their opinion. We Jhink the lawyer muBt bo. excepted?they sell theirs. ? A pleasant word in the morning, which a Kind fooling coined into expres? sion, may keep two hearts aglow and sun? ny all day. ? The perpetrator of the following is still at large : "Why are oystors good for dyspeptics ?" Because they die jest (digest; before they are eatjen. ? Some old bachelor says : To mako a girl love you, coax her to love somebody else. If there is anything a woman relishes it is the contrary. ? "Why are young ladies kissing each other like an emblem of Christianity V* "Because they are doing unto each other as they would that men should do unto them." ? Success in life is very apt to make us forget the time when we wasn't much. It is just so with a frog on a jump?ho can't remember when he was a tadpole but other folks can. ? A ghost has appeared to tho relict of a late lamented delinquent subscriber to tho Lynchburg (Va.) News, saying, "Jessie, pay my newspaper accounts and let me rest in peace!" ? Wendell Phillips says that ha is "wedded to principle." He must be such a husband as Brigham Young, who, it is said, doesn't see some of his wives once a year. ? A paper asks very innocently if it is any barm to sit in tho lapse of ages. An? other replies that it all depends on tho kind of ages selected. Those from eigh teen to twenty-five, it put down as extra hazardous. ? A man who advertised to give the "best of sound, practical advice for fifty cents, that would be applicable at any time, and to all persons aqd conditions of life," on application of a victim, "per mail," sent the following: "Never give a boy a dime to watch your shadow while you climb a tree to look into the middle of next week. It don't pay." ? In a recent case in Indiana a Justice complacently remarked, in summing up the testimony: "Gentlemen of the Jury, in this case the counsel on both sides are unintelligible, the witnesses on both sides are incredible, and the plaintiff and de? fendant are both such bad characters, that to me it is indifferent which way you give your verdict." * ? An editor undertook to count the drunken men in Huntsville, Mo., a few days ago. Having reached the number of thirty-one who were so drunk that they didn't know highnoon from mid? night, he was brought up by a drunken fell low who reeled ahd staggered so he couldn't count him. There seems to have been a good deal of drunk on that day. ? The local of the Vicksburg Times, after making numerous New Year's calls and drinking countless glasses of egg n?gg> "laid him down to sleep in a snow bank, and wept because there was no more to drink." He winds up the de? scription of his adventures by saying, "wo swore by the red bourbon coursing proudly through our veins, that we would drivo from our Southern clime every haughty foreman who dared call on us for copy." LINES ? Written for the Memorial Association of Fredericks' burg, Va. The following lines, by Father Abraham J. Ryan, of Kn ox vi lie, the author of the "Conquered Banner" and the "Sword of Lee," will touch every heart: Gather the sacred dust! Of warriors tried and true; "Who bore the Flag of our Nation's trust, And fell in the cause, though Lost, still Just, And died for me and you. Gather them each and all! From the Frivatc to the Cbief! Come they from hovel or princely hall, They fell for us, and for them should fall The tears of a Nation's grief. Gather tho corpses strewn O'er many a battle plain. From many a grave that lies so lone, Without & name and without a stone, Gather the Southern slain. We care not whence they came, Dear is their lifeless clay ! Whether unknown or known to fame, Their cause and oountry still the same? They died?and wore the Gray. Wherever the brave have died, They should net rest apart; Living they struggled side by side, Why should the hand of death divido A single heart from heart ? Gather their scattered clay, Wherever it may rost; Just as they marched to the bloody fray, Just as they fell on the battle-day, Bury them breast to breast. The foeman need not dread This gathering of the brave; Without sword or flag, and with soundless trend We muster once more our deathless dead, Out of each lonely grave. The foeman need not frown; For they are powerless now? We gather them here and we lay them down, And tears and prayers are the only crown We bring to wreath each brow. And the dead thus meet tbe dead, ? While the living o'er thorn weep, And the men whom Lee and Stonewall led, And the hearts that once together bled, Together still?shall sleep. -? "Let Her Flow."?A cotemporary, from the Eappahannock region gets off the following, which shows that ho has no poetry in his soul: A poet, whose effusions, published in, the Kichmond Enquirer some time since, is addressed 'To tho llappahannock;' and in most supplicating strains beseeches that stream to "flow on I" The poet doubtless feared a freeze during tho late cold snap; but it is hoped the appeal will not be in vain, and that tbe "bright river," whose "banks aro fringed with wood? lands," will continue to "git up and git." -? ? A gentleman, accompanied by a fine dog, walked up to a first class hotel, and recorded his name. The cleric nodded at the dog, and said : "What's your friend's name? Wo liko to register distinguished visitors." "I don't know," said the guest, "suppose we call him 'Andy Johnson'!" "No," said the clerk, "that would be dis? respectful to tho President. Suppose we write him down 'Ben Butler?' " "No, no,' said tho guest hurriedly, "that would bo disrespectful to the dog !" ? The Boston Commonwealth says that such men as Phillips and Stevens are the cream of tho country. If they aro, the sooner the country is skimmed the better for it.
